Next Generation Of The Game Engine And DX12 Support

Mod dependent afaik

@magicko84 both games do not support ray tracing.

And neither support DX12 either.

Good evening, I saw a video of ETS2, in which the comparison between the active and deactivated RTX was made.

As has been said the games do not support raytracing. What you were probably seeing was a comparison between ETS2 and a Raytracing Reshade. As far as I am aware that is a paid project so I won't be discussing it any further.

Ok, thanks everyone for the explanations, very often clickbait titles are used in videos and I can say that this is one of the rare times that I get screwed.
Excuse me.

Once we get confirmation that DX12 and the game engines changes being released this would make for an awesome Under The Hood type blog.

^Ohhh boy would it. It could be one of the better blogs for sure.

1. If they were to attempt to adapt ETS2 to UE5 it would take 4-5 years at best as they'd need to rebuild everything.

I think Kunos managed with Assetto Corsa Competizione in less time.
(They migrated from their own-built engine in Assetto Corsa to UE4 in Assetto Corsa Competizione. iirc they also managed to carry over a good amount of their own code.)
Of course every project is a bit different, so sure it could be that it would take longer in case of ATS/ETS2.

I think though that the main problem not being considered here is the type of problem that may come up. Again, taking AC->ACC as an example:
Kunos had huge issues at the beginning implementing VR support and support for triples. Performance is also a big deal.
While ACC looks fantastic, especially the weather effects, the performance is much worse than for most of its competitors.
Which is a big deal if you have people trying to use it in VR or on triples.
Don't know how many people are trying that for the truck sims, though.


Personally, I don't have an opinion on for or against UE5. This question is too project-specific to be answered by an outsider.

@Berniyh UE5 would be insane for this game. I think SCS should get rid of this old and outdated prism3d engine, and replace it with a better engine, at least ue4. But UE5 would be the best experience in this type of game.

Here we go again....
